Greg Byrne, the athletic director at Alabama, is unaware of the source of the report that he is a candidate for the same job at Texas A&M. He claimed he hasn’t tried to promote himself as a contender and doesn’t have an agent.
He is therefore unsure of where it began.
However, that is currently irrelevant. In an interview with 247Sports on Wednesday, he made an effort to allay rumors regarding his employment.
“It goes without saying that I am aware of the connections because my dad was the AD there,” Byrne stated. “My folks are still residing there. However, I only want to be the AD in Alabama.
Byrne attended Mississippi State (2008–10) and Arizona (2010–17) before moving to Tuscaloosa in 2017.
Bill, his father, worked for many years as an athletic director at Texas A&M, Oregon, and Nebraska.
DeBoer was the head coach of the NAIA schools at Sioux Falls and Fresno State before coming to Washington.
His coaching record overall is 104–12.
Ross Bjork departed the Aggies in January to take over as Ohio State’s AD, creating a highly sought-after opening at one of the nation’s best-resourced teams.
SEC fans will recognize Bjork from her time as Ole Miss’s athletic director from 2012 to 2019.
